5.Grade your own final product with a self-created RUBRIC
6.Write a Reflection – (What did you learn?...How was the overall process of creating the video?...What were some obstacles/challenges along the way?...What tasks went well?...What would you do different next time?...What are some suggestions to the teacher?...Did you like the project, why or why not?)
